Praise for Stereophile"Recommended Component" Exact Phono Cartridge

"Hand-built MM without a removable stylus that MF claimed 'will get your heart racing, that's for sure.' The Analog Kid was knocked out by its explosive, energetic sound, breathtaking midrange purity, and transient snap."

- "Recommended Component," Stereophile magazine, October 21(review of original Exact model)

"Timbre of instruments was well balanced, sounding neither harmonically thin nor falsely fat. Considering the Exact's strong drive and excitement levels, it never went bright or harsh, a considerable achievement in my book. Overall I found myself consistently listening and responding to the music, my audio-critical faculties at bay."

"I rank the Exact among my 'Music Master' cartridges: cartridges that you listen to for deep musical satisfaction. To deliver its best, it should be matched with components that are also highly adept at communicating music. Very highly recommended."

- Hi-fi News magazine, August 1996 (review of original Exact model)

"I found myself hurrying to pull out old favorites one after the other, eager to hear them respond to the freshening up this cartridge seemed ready to give them. The Exact often seemed to bring out the dynamics in a quite unexpected way, and I can only assume that it really is extracting more of the dynamic range on the record."

- Paul Szabady, Stereo Times magazine, February 23 (review of original Exact model)
